  We live surrounded by an invisible world which affects our lives in many ways.In this book we will take a journey from barely visible life, to cells, their structures, molecules, atoms, fundamental particles and even smaller.We will explore not just the facts about this small world, but also try to unearth interesting facts to ponder too.For example, what did paranormal investigators believe about the structure of atoms over one hundred years ago?And what particles or forces might be smaller than the standard building block particles we know about today?Also, what are the limitations of the standard model of subatomic particles?There are many things in the microscopic world which you might not expect.The journey from the small to the infinitely small starts here.

  This collection of nine performance pieces reflects the inspirational words of Margaret Mead, who said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful individuals can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Together, these performances memorialize the diversity, beauty, and fragility of our planet.
  Poet Terry Tempest Williams talks about the peregrine falcon; Larry Cox talks about the rainforests; poet Diane Ackerman reads from her work The Whale in Moonlight; scientist Dr. David Suzuki lectures on a sense of place; muralist Wyland talks about whales and art; urban environmentalist Gerald Lordhal talks about community gardens in New York City; author Peter Matthiessen reads from his book Sand Rivers; biologist Sharon Matola talks about the Belize Zoo, and nine-year-old Annie Olson talks about her two little friends.

  Living with epilepsy is not easy. It's a constant struggle to manage the condition and live a normal life. Chillemi knows this firsthand, and she wants to help others facing the same challenges. In her book, epilepsy You're Not Alone, Chillemi takes readers on an epic journey through the everyday challenges of living with epilepsy. 
  From retraining your mind to changing the way you think, Chillemi offers practical advice for coping with the condition and living a happy and productive life. What sets this book apart from other titles on the subject is the inclusion of over 30 real-life stories from people worldwide. These personal accounts provide hope and inspiration for those dealing with epilepsy, and they illustrate that it is possible to lead a fulfilling life despite the challenges. 
  ADVANCE PRAISE FOR EPILEPSY YOU'RE NOT ALONE 
  Inspired by her own battles, Chillemi wrote a book to give those coping with the disorder greater self-esteem, hope, and motivation. -- Lad - Star-Ledger Newspaper 
  Life deals us many hard blows that we often don't expect. I admire the fact that someone like Stacey Chillemi was thrown a curveball that may have knocked many of us down to the point where many of us may not have wanted to get back up, but she did. It wasn't easy, but she possesses a determined spirit that won't let her give up. For that reason, Stacey will go far and achieve whatever dreams she sets her mind to accomplish. Della Crews Reporter -- Editorial Review -Anchor / Talk Show Host /News 12 NJ, Review 
  An important, clearly-written book with everything I've been looking for, for over 50 years since I was diagnosed with epilepsy. In particular, I'm able to explain to others things about me that I never knew before, as well as recommend this book. Thanks to the author for sharing her knowledge with the world.

  The Physics of Everyday Things -...

  Motion is a fundamental aspect of the physical world, affecting everything we do and experience. From walking down the street to driving a car, the principles of motion are always at work. In physics, understanding the forces that cause and influence motion is essential to understanding how objects behave in the world around us. This chapter will explore Newton's laws of motion and the application of forces in our daily lives, helping to make sense of the movements and actions that shape our experiences. 
  At the heart of motion is Newton's First Law, also known as the Law of Inertia. This law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. Essentially, things like to keep doing what they’re doing. For instance, a car coasting down the highway will continue moving unless the brakes are applied, or friction slows it down. This simple concept explains why, when you're in a car that suddenly stops, you feel as if you're still moving forward—your body wants to keep going, even though the car has halted. The application of this principle is not limited to vehicles but can be observed in everyday activities, like pushing a shopping cart or standing still on a bus that starts to move. 
  Newton's Second Law, the Law of Acceleration, takes it further. It tells us that the force applied to an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration (F = ma). This means that heavier objects require more force to accelerate, while lighter objects can be moved more easily. When you push a sled across the snow, the amount of effort you need depends on how much the sled weighs and how fast you want it to move. This relationship helps explain why it’s harder to get a heavy truck moving than a small bicycle. Understanding this law helps us calculate everything from how much effort it takes to lift an object to how quickly a rocket can launch into space.

  Artificial Intelligence - Ai...

  AI systems are designed and programmed to mimic human thought and behavior, making artificial intelligence an integral part of our daily lives. This technology impacts a wide range of services and experiences. 
    
  For many, the most visible benefits of AI are seen in new gadgets and features, such as voice-activated assistants and facial recognition for unlocking devices. However, AI is also set to revolutionize other areas, such as healthcare. For example, hospitals in India are testing software that analyzes retinal images to detect diabetic retinopathy, a condition that is often diagnosed too late to prevent vision loss. In autonomous driving, AI helps vehicles understand and navigate their environments. AI is already embedded in many applications, from search algorithms to bionic limbs for the disabled.
